Passing function parameters by name

[Artyom Shalkhakov]

Hello everyone.

I suggest adding a new syntax for function parameter passing. To illustrate:

void foo( int a, float b ) {
    // some code
}

void main() {
    foo( 1, 2.5f ); // classic
    foo( b : 2.5f, a : -3 ); // sort of struct initializer
}

Since named arguments can be passed in any order, they can be especially useful when a function has more than one parameter with a default value.

This concept could be applied to template instantiation as well.
